Chapter 23: Faking Illness

"Yes." Yu Yu took the letter and went immediately.

"What did Madame write in her letter?" Tan Yu scratched her heart and lungs curiously.

Jiang Shu hooked his lips and wrote lightly: "It's nothing, just thinking about the hot summer day, please ask my father to give back to the customers together with the winery in my hand, and the wine is half price." ”

"Then let the shopkeeper of the grain shop and the Jiang family raise the price of grain, especially the grain commonly used in winemaking."

Jiang's grain shops are all over Beijing, as long as the Jiang family raises the price of grain, other grain shops will definitely follow suit.

The raw materials for brewing have risen, but the price of wine has fallen, and within a month, you will lose money when you smell the fragrance and get drunk.

Since Cheng Jinchu wants to fight, let's play her to death.

As for Jiang Shu and the Jiang family, the grain used in brewing is from their own family, and the cost is not high, even if they sell the wine at half price, they will not lose money, but they will make less money.

In addition, the increase in food prices can also make up for the loss of alcohol.

Cheng Jinchu, who was immersed in joy and dreaming, was unaware of what was about to happen.

The next day, Yan Yang did not go to the school.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Jinchu hurriedly dressed and came to Yanyang's house to ask.

Yan Yang lay on the bed, hugged his head and said in pain: "Mother, my head hurts, it hurts......"

"Hurry up and ask for a doctor." Cheng Jinchu commanded urgently.

Yan Yang on the bed was flustered for a moment, and said nonsense: "Mother, I don't want to drink bitter medicine anymore, I don't want to see a doctor." ”

"Yan Yang is good, if you are sick, you have to see it, and you can only get better if you drink medicine." Cheng Jinchu coaxed him warmly and touched his forehead.

If you don't have a fever, how can you have a headache?

"I don't want to see a doctor and drink medicine, I'll just rest at home for a few days." Yan Yang pleaded pitifully.

But where will Cheng Jinchu respond, for fear that he will make a mistake.

Soon, the medicine girl came.

"Young master, let me see." The medicine woman squatted down beside the bed.

Yan Yang cried and resisted: "Don't, I don't want to see a doctor." ”

"Yan Yang, if you are disobedient, I will send someone to invite your father." Cheng Jinchu frightened with a cold face.

Yan Yang was honest in an instant.

Doctor Fang probed her pulse, but didn't see anything abnormal, so she asked, "Where does the young master hurt?"

"My head hurts." Yan Yang's eyes dodged.

"Where, exactly?"

"I don't know, my head hurts."

Doctor Fang examined it carefully, looked at Yan Yang's expression again, and felt the same thing.

"Madame, please come with me to the outside world."

Cheng Jinchu was puzzled, and followed Fang Yinu to the outer room and asked, "What happened to Yan Yang?" Did you get something...... Strange disease? ”

As a mother, she is most afraid that her child will get sick, and Cheng Jinchu is nervous and worried.

Doctor Fang shook her head and said, "Don't be nervous, madam, young master, he ...... Not sick. ”

Not sick? What does it mean to be not sick?

Cheng Jinchu was stunned, and said after a while: "You mean, Yan Yang is pretending to be sick?"

Doctor Fang nodded, carried the medicine box and left.

She can only heal the sick, but not the heart.

Seeing Cheng Jinchu coming back, Yan Yang prayed: "Mother, I don't drink medicine, I'll rest at home for a few days, really." ”

"You all go down." Cheng Jinchu retreated from the house.

"Niang......" Seeing the closed door, Yan Yang was suddenly a little scared.

Cheng Jinchu walked to the bed and stood still, and asked with a condensed expression: "Tell my mother, why are you pretending to be sick?"

"I, I didn't." Yan Yang avoided his eyes and didn't dare to look at Cheng Jinchu.

Cheng Jinchu took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions and sat down on the edge of the bed, caressing Yan Yang's back.

"Tell your mother the truth, otherwise your father will ask, and your mother can only say that you are pretending to be sick."

"Don't, don't tell Daddy." Yan Yang panicked.

"Then you can talk to your mother." Cheng Jinchu coaxed.

Yan Yang raised his head, tears welled up, and he threw himself into Jinchu's arms and cried: "Mother, I don't want to study, I don't want to study." ”

It turned out that I didn't want to go to school.

"Why don't you want to study?" Cheng Jinchu asked with anger.

Yan Yang snorted and said, "It's too difficult to read, and the master is too fierce." They all laughed at me and said I was as stupid as a pig...... Mother, I don't want to go to school, I don't want to study. ”

"No way!" Cheng Jinchu's face sank.

"Any other mother can rely on you, only reading can't give up. You must study hard, and you will definitely gain fame in the future. ”

"I don't want it, I don't like to go to Beijing anymore, I want to go back to the border." Yan Yang cried.

He is only five years old, he does not understand the future, and he does not want honor and glory, he just wants to play as he pleases, just like he used to be at the border.

"Nonsense, the Hou Mansion is your home, you can't go anywhere but this." Cheng Jinchu was angry, and his stomach hurt.

She understood that it was fetal gas, and she didn't dare to be angry anymore at the moment, so she closed her eyes and calmed down and said, "Take a day of rest at home today, and go to school tomorrow." ”

Yan Yang was desperate, and his expression was full of tears.

Cheng Jinchu's heart ached, so he simply left, out of sight.

Xu is overworked recently, and Xu has injured his body in the first two births, and Cheng Jinchu's pregnancy is extremely unstable.

It is because she can only stay in bed to raise the baby, and the affairs of the house are taken care of by Shen's mother, and the wine shop is operated by the shopkeeper and Shen Changze.

On the second day, Yan Yang went to the school, and Cheng Jinchu breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Changze went to inspect the winery after his official duties, but saw that the winery was deserted and had no business.

"What's going on?" Shen Changze was puzzled.

The shopkeeper said with a sad face: "Since yesterday, many wineries in the city have sold drinks at half price, and people in the city are scrambling to buy them, and no one has come to our winery." ”

"Sold at half price?" Shen Changze was shocked.

Who would do such a virtuous thing?

This affects the city's liquor business.

"There is one more thing that has to be decided by Lord Hou." The shopkeeper looked distressed.

"Say."

"Grain prices are rising, do you want to continue to buy grain and make wine?"

Falling wine prices, rising food prices?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Shen Changze instructed Huo Chong: "Go and find out who is manipulating the price control and disrupting the market." ”

"Yes." Huo Chong took the order.

Shen Changze sat in the wine shop for a while, and saw that there was no one who entered the store to buy wine, so he returned to the Hou Mansion with a calm face.

Cheng Jinchu woke up to play with Yan Huan, but Shen Changze didn't dare to let her know, so he eased his face and pretended to be nothing.

"Ma'am, it's time to drink the medicine." The maidservant brought the fetal pills.

Shen Changze hugged Yan Huan and said, "Daddy will play with you and let my mother drink medicine." ”

Cheng Jinchu stirred the medicine, looked at the sky outside the house and said, "Yan Yang is about to get out of school." ”

Although Yan Yang went to the school today, Cheng Jinchu was still very worried.

She can force Yan Yang to go to school, but she can't force Yan Yang to go in.

"Has he grown lately?" Shen Changze asked casually.

Cheng Jinchu's face froze, and he smiled unnaturally: "I've been too busy to take care of it recently, I'll ask when he comes back." ”

Shen Changze bowed his head and did not ask any more questions.

In the evening, Huo Chong returned.

Shen Changze went to the study with him.

"What do you say? The Jiang family? How is that possible?" After listening to Huo Chong's report, Shen Changze stood up in shock, his face full of disbelief.

Huo Chong said: "The subordinates have verified that it is indeed the Jiang family. ”

"Jiang Shu." Shen Changze suddenly thought of something, and went to Tingzhulou angrily.
